Utah County honors IT employee who helped launch online marriage-license service
Summary
Utah County recognized IT programmer Mike Perry as employee of the month for leading development of a mobile-friendly online marriage-license application that allows couples to apply, verify identity and receive a digital license without visiting the clerk's office.
Utah County commissioners recognized IT staffer Mike Perry as the county’s employee of the month on Dec. 6 and highlighted a new online marriage-license application his team helped develop.
Josh Daniels of the Clerk-Auditor’s Office told commissioners that Amelia Powers Gardner, the elected county clerk and auditor, made modernization and digitization a top priority and that Mike Perry’s work produced a mobile-friendly system enabling couples to complete the entire marriage-license process online, including identity verification and digital issuance. Daniels read praise from colleagues noting Mike’s programming leadership and that the new system should reduce in-person visits and save applicants time and expense.
During remarks, Mike Perry thanked his colleagues and said he had not expected the recognition. Josh Daniels and other staff described the technology work as a step toward broader modernization of county services.
Journalists and readers should note that some technical details mentioned during the recognition—such as the transcript reference to "facial recognition"—were quoted as colleague praise; the transcript does not include technical documentation or vendor agreements. The county has not published the application’s privacy, security or identity-verification policies in the recorded remarks; those items were not part of the presentation and are therefore not reported here.
